Thanks for the info NY350Z. Your video is wicked. I'm gonna have to try that w/ mine. Curiuos, did you notice a decrease in low-end HP & torque? I used to be able to spin the wheels going about 10mph in 2nd gear(w/out poping the clutch). Can't do it anymore. Is this common w/ Test pipes?

 

hehe...i remember i used to leave it in first...go to like 4 grand and punch it, my tires would rip apart, but now i just hook and go.

but honestly i couldnt feel a difference

plus TOP end is very good now so its ok if i lose low end

 

What do you mean by hook & go? What do you think the best launching technique is?

 

i mean when im in 1st DRIVING at around 4k, then i punched it i would spin...now i dont spin anymore

 

NY 350z, i have a true dual exhaust but with an X pipe - do you think if i went with the test pipes like yours rather than high flow cats i would possibly get the flames? I really really like the flames

 

i would think you would...

but dont take it from me, im not sure

 

im gunna try it !

 

the injen is almost striaght back, no x-pipes nothin...so i dunno

 

Hey zoom350, I have somewhat the same problem with my exhaust. I know I completely took care of all of my rattling problems but I still get a metal to metal type of clicking sound that I belive is coming from my o2 sensors in the race pipes. I don't know if it does that because I damaged my o2 sensors or if it is supposed to do that. But from my experience, anytime you hear a rattle or clicking, it shouldn't be normal. It seems to only happen at low rpms when the car bogs down off of a stoplight.

 

Ah man, there's no sound on the video.

 

Hey SCZ,
Thanks for the input. I was taking a look under there yesterday & it seams that the problem was that my Injen SES were touching each other when i hit bumps. I don't seam to have the problem you mention, but I don't think you damaged the O2 sensors. You can tell you damaged them if you're getting a CEL light. If not, you're okay. Hope you get that rattling fixed.. it's annoying as hell.

 

Well my problem is that my CEL comes on anyways because I have test pipes. But its about 50/50 with some saying that I should get a CEL and some saying that test pipes still shouldn't trigger one. I'm gonna see if my dealership can actually tell if the sensors are malfunctioning, cause last time they checked, it just gave a code saying that my cats arent working. So a lot of help that was.
